Move over, Space Needle. Your Sky City restaurant doesn’t have anything on Atmosphere, located at the top of the world’s tallest building.

Located 1,350 feet in the air, Atmosphere is a 57-second elevator away from the ground floor of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa — the tallest structure ever built. Dubai suffered serious development setbacks due to the 2008 recession, so the restaurant looks out over unfinished construction projects.

Sexy. Luxurious. A yacht in the sky. (No, I didn’t make that up.) These are the words and phrases people are using to describe the restaurant, where ordering an appetizer will set you back by about $50.

MSNBC has a story on the restaurant, along with a photo slide show. From the story:

Atmosphere’s views at noon show ritzy Dubai’s past and present: its ambitious artificial island project, The World, lies unfinished amid the blue waves on one side, and the sandy expanses of stalled construction sites are on the other.
